I bought a 1 peice fgasket for my 360 and ended up throwing it in the trashe before I could figure out how to get it on. I was trying to install it while motor in the car. I determined the only way to do this properly ion my car was to turn the car updside down and well.... im not set up to do...

ok so possibly going back to the 360 heads just worked up a bit instead of the massive valve job I have currently would be a better route then the 302s. -RPM

ya not completely stock 302's but more like what Adam has.....I have the same cam as well Adam... Thanks for the comments... I just feel my car is kinda a dog off the line... but she picks up quick and goes forever fast . -Scott

I am thinking about playing with my cylinder heads and swapping out the massively worked over J's with the 2.02 valve treatment (and much more) for a set of 302's. Now I am not a cylinder head guy so I may be totally wrong in my thinking...and that is probably the case... but I want to see if...

ahh the old tin foil trick.......it has worked for many... ;) -RPM

keep me in mind on those manifolds....if the go for sale.... -RPM

tell ya what, mine does not sound stock lope...see I'll fire it up for ya... hear it? I thought I'd be dissapointed going from the .284/.484 because i liked its lope, but I am not dissapointed at all. The xe268 still puts a pound to the ground and virates my teeth at a idle. now this...

this is funny, I just got rid of my .284/.484 and put the comp cam in, with my set up I couldnt get much off the line power, but would come in strong and pull strong. With the new cam it evened things out and the driveabilty is so much nicer. That .484 is a nasty stick, think it needs more...

agree with Sanguine, xe268, got it in mine....is a nice lopey cam and is easy to drive with....produces nice power, should work great with your combo, which is similar to mine. -RPM

ok. the 1 pc pan gasket for the 360 looks like a sweet deal. However, it is a real pain. It would be a great deal if the motor was on a engine rotisserie and you could just slap it on. Not so great when the motor is still in the car. you have to install the gasket to the block, not the...

yes, the SCE is the one I have. Will go to work on it soon and see. thanks. -RPM

maybe i found the answer.......I located the instruction sheet in the box and it says to apply silicone to what I think is the areas you are talking about. So maybe that is the answer. Did you seal yours up or get rid of it and go back to the multi-piece? Was that the only problem area you...

thanks for the input. the gasket I received from Summit racing. It states it is for early LA style 360 motors, but I will check that out. FOR 1970-1991 360 MOTORS SCE ACCUSEAL (1) PC MOLDED GASKET SUMMIT PART # SCE-269091 any other input? thanks -RPM

Ok I ordered up a one piece oil pan gasket for my 360. It looks like a great gasket. My question is to anyone that has experience with them. what exactly do I need to do to install this. Is ANY sealer used anywhere on this? like maybe around the crank areas on front and back? I hope this...

I read this and get a sick feeling in my gut for some reason. Not to take over a thread, but if the push rod is a bit too long, this would also hurt performance a bit too.. right? I'm thinking I need to check some things.... -RPM

thanks for the words. That could be my problem...or is my problem. I siliconed the whole gasket. I did let it set up a bit....but obviously that didnt work. Years ago my father used to use this tar like stuff which I think one can still buy. I think its fel-pro gasket sealer for like...

well got the car fired up and running after the cam swap Cam sounds good. Oil pan leaks. from the gasket area. :cussing: Well at least I figured it was going to. huh. So I guess I get to try it again. Does anyone have a sure fire way to keep this cork crap gaskets from squishing out or...

well thats what i thought they were, but i for the life of me cannot see where they would have come out of without physically removing the cap. I put the pan back on without the pcs. Maybe it will leak....I will just have to see....wonder why, if they came out, they did.?? Well we will see if...

ok. so I have a question I think i already know the answer too, but before I go farther I want to connfirm this. I am replacing the oil pan gaskets on my 360. I know you have the timing /crank gasket and the rear gasket and the side gaskets.......but... when I took the pan off I found two...

well thanks everyone, i am definately sticking with degreeing in the cam. The engine is not on the stand though, I am just performing a cam swap, I may have failed to mention that, but, either way, I will still degree the cam to make sure she is correct. By the way its Comps XE268 cam...

I am just curious what some of you think. When installing a cam on a small block with hydraulic lifters and stock rockers, non-adjustable, and running a single key timing set straight up, is it really neccesary to centerline the cam???? I have always done it and it always comes out correct...

my '86 ram with 318 had them too. -RPM
